This is an often overlooked black & white directed by Charles Vidor for Columbia Pictures. A meek Ellen Creed(Ida Lupino)takes care of the nineteenth century English countryside home of retired actress Leonora Fiske(Isobel Elsom). Miss Fiske has not given up her theatrical ways and has no problem letting on that she is above everyone else. Ellen gets bad news that the landlady of her two sisters is throwing them out because of their behavior. Ellen does not want her sisters Louisa(Edith Barrett)and Emily(Elsa Lancaster)put in an asylum, so asks Miss Leonora if they could come for a visit. Ellen's intentions all along is to have her sisters stay permanently. When Miss Fiske gets very irritated with the two unruly Creed sisters disrupting her home life, big sister Ellen must remedy the situation. And the solution is not exactly conventional.
Miss Lupino is stellar in this old fashioned movie. Established star Louis Hayward has a pedestrian role as Evelyn Keyes, Queenie Leonard and Clyde Cook serve in support.
